Toxic effect of ingested mushrooms, self-harm, sequela

This code signifies the long-term or residual effects resulting from a deliberate act of self-poisoning by ingesting mushrooms. It indicates that the acute phase of the toxic exposure has passed, but the patient continues to experience health problems directly attributable to the original event. These sequelae can manifest in various organ systems, depending on the type and amount of mushrooms ingested.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with chronic or lasting health issues, such as liver damage, kidney dysfunction, neurological deficits, or persistent gastrointestinal problems, that are a direct consequence of a past intentional mushroom ingestion for self-harm. This code is appropriate after the initial acute treatment and recovery period, when the focus shifts to managing the long-term complications.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific residual condition(s) being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past intentional mushroom poisoning.
• Do not use for acute toxic effects; refer to the appropriate acute T62.0X2_ code for initial encounters.
